Hey guys! I just want to explain those lines from RM that might be hard to understand. It's actually a bit of mistranslation and Korean slang that I will explain: "Giving up on 3? Giving up on 5?" This is an incomplete translation. RM said "Sampo-sede? Opo-sede?" Which actually translates to "Gen Three Give-Up? Gen Five Give-up?" They are names that roughly equate to our Boomerang Generation - late Gen-X and early Millennials who had to move back home after college because they couldn't afford homes or even apartments. The 3 po-sede gave up courtship, marriage, children in order to make a living. The 5 po-sede had to give up those PLUS gainful employment and home ownership. The next line is "Well I like the number six, so how about giving up on six?" This is another mistranslation. Here it is with the important words sounded out in Korean: "Well I like yookpo, so I guess I'm a Yookpo-sede." The correct translation is "Well I like beef jerky, so I guess I'm Gen Six Give-Up?" It's a play on words - "yookpo" is beef jerky, and yookpo-sede (6 po-sede) is how you would say Gen Six Give-up because the word for six is "yook". The whole verse is aimed at Boomers, who dismiss the younger generations' hardships and call them lazy. I hope this makes sense!
@@AwkwardAngleReacts @Czhil sounds like Jill Not true. This is about the Korean expression *"n-po* *generation"* (you can find it on wikipedia): It first began as Sampo generation, and was then expanded to the 'Generation who gave up on n number of things'. Sampo Generation refers to a generation that has *given* *up* *three* things: *dating* , *marriage* , and *having* *children* , while Opo Generation has given up *five* things, *adding* *owning* *a* *home* and *having* *a* *career* to the list of things given up on by the Sampo generation. The Chilpo generation refers to the generation who gave up *seven* things, *adding* *hope/hobby* and *human* *relations* to Opo generation. In short giving up on: 3 = dating, marriage, having children 5 = + owning a home & career 7 = + hope/hobby & human relations the yookpo thing is true.

(double post because I want you to know it, too and I'm not sure if you get the message from me answering to the OP of the reactionvid)
If you love to hear some ballad songs from BTS, you can try: Jamais Vu Blue And Gray House Of Cards Your Eyes Tell They all my favorite ballads Please react to all of them, you won't regret it
I also recommend doing the lyric video first. To appreciate the clean vocals (without noise interference) and see what they're saying without distractions.
This is a live performance link and it has the lyrics on the screen in English as well for “truth untold.” Definitely one of the best versions for each member… clear vocals, visuals and def will tug at those heart strings ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PGl1A3F-dEM.html
BTS and just kpop artists in general have crazy work ethic. BTS used to practice 12-16 hours a day and they are such perfectionists too. Even if they give a flawless performance they always say sorry to their fans saying they could've done better and we're like what the hell you did perfect. It's to the point sometimes where we truly worry about them being overworked because they will literally collapse backstage and need oxygen. Anytime they don't achieve their goals they will say "we'll work harder" when they really don't have to, they work hard enough. That's why I always say if people don't like BTS music that's fine, but to downplay their talent and work ethic is crazy. Throughout the whole pandemic they were still constantly working and putting out content. They also went around 7 years without having more than a few days off at a time. Thanks for reacting and I can't wait to see more BTS reactions.
Right? The first real break they had since debuting in 2013 was in 2019. That in itself is crazy to think about. To top of it all off they were all in school/college when then started.I remember an interview where Jimin said he used to practice till 4am and then go to school at 7am and another one where Jin texted his professor asking for an alternative way to take a test since he out of the country performing at MAMA.After working your butts off for over 16hrs, how do you even manage to care about school? Where do you even get the energy? People don't realise just how f-ing hard these boys work.
@@taniya4490 Exactly. I wish they would talk more about how they've managed to continue their education despite their hectic schedules and now they are pursuing their masters degrees now. I don't know where they find the time to do this.
Girl.....Speak that Truth!!!! The Boys are Fire 🔥 😍 and the Their talents and Accolades shows that! Hopefully they can give a little More Grace to themselves without feeling like they letting theirself Down, Cause they Don't let Us Down, Ever!!!! Good Talent Good Music Good Guys BTS
Have you had ON Kinetic Manifesto suggested yet? There’s so much out there but that has a tendency to really show what they have done and can do - pretty epic.
@@AwkwardAngleReacts FIRE actually follows this song Dope. So, I hope you check that one out next or very soon. Pay close attention to the opening scene and music of FIRE MV.
DOPE and FIRE are interconnected MVs if you want to react to that one too. I actually want to recommend another oldie of theirs which is really fun, WAR of HORMONE. They received a lot of flack for the lyrics so they stopped performing the song after awhile, but it was just the usual scandal out of nothing BTS had to face over the years, and ARMY love the song! It's cheeky. 😜💜💜💜
you know i remember when everything happened when war of hormone happened and it made me upset because the song was just basically about boys coming into puberty and that’s what they where they were only ages 15-21 at the time so what did people expect their still figure out their “hormones” as young adult boys
Ppl who discover BTS after their massive success there is a thing you don’t know about them being rejected from K-pop and mocked because they were from a small Company but this small company gave them the freedom to be themselves and collect them based on talent not appearance I’m not Korean but I’m an army for a while now so the main reason for BTS to succeed worldwide because they had to reach out to their fans through Internet because they almost been cast away from K-pop event and they never been invited to shows and even they try to sabotage them by false rumors against BTS to bring them down and this never happens before that how upset of how good bts r there were One incident it Was in 2014 there is a festival in America for kpop and they supposed to open the show there and 5 to 6 hour before it they kept saying that BTS not showing up to this event so their fans wouldn’t come so they will Bomb even with all of this they still stole the show everyone who were there said that but because of what they did to them there’s only a fan cam to it so when they succeed now K-pop Start to acknowledge them they have no choice they even including themselves in BTS success in America and the world And try to say they are the same when in reality the can’t be more different
I get that new audiences might find it funny or awkward when u hear BTS flexing n praising themselves in their songs but once u come to know "behind the scenes", u'd know thats its not exaggerated. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THEIR WORTH...AND SO THEY TOO.
There was also the show that wouldn’t let them perform at all after using their name to lure fans. So after the finale, when broadcast cameras were off and the stage was all dirty and covered with confetti and crap, they came out to perform for their fans because they had come to see them. No lighting, no backup dancing, no video, just fancam footage. Is that the same one or a different one? There was also when they were forced to be backup entertainment to models. This is when they were already winning awards for sheer number of listeners. They did crappy jobs like that because their company was so broke that BTS were their whole income. So whatever BTS could make paid the bills and salaries for them and everyone else. They stopped going to variety shows most idols in Korea use to build their fan base because the hosts were abusive. They admitted later to bullying them on purpose due to industry pressure. The large companies have their hand in everything, producing shows, alumni who host shows, etc. So BTS started their own variety show, RUN BTS out of necessity.
U guys are pretty good at reacting like noticing and pointing stuff out paying attention to details and the way u talk is also good to listen....Keep going
this was my first BTS video i watched back in 2015 (i saw it on fine bros' react channel), and RM's opening line 'hello, first time to bts?' blew my mind so hard, i was not the same person after that mv lmao i am hooked for life
For ballad song, PLEASE REACT to BTS Jin's songs particularly 'YOURS' from K Drama called Jirisan .. great vocals from Jin and the La tata tatataa is a Morse code for SOS about rescue team on the mountains and a very emotional song.
One of my fav things about BTS is they can talk mad shit in a respectful way you know? Like it's still positive most times. They do talk some shit about a couple people who deserved it in the past, but it's so intelligent the way they do it, if that makes sense? So different from western musicians. I'd like to recommend you: -The truth untold live, house of cards live by BTS vocal line -ddaeng live, ugh live by BTS rap line, & pls watch each of them explained by a Korean by dkdktv (you can watch ddaeng & the explanation in the same video etc,) both songs have amazing word play and Korean references that you'll need the explanation for to truly get the meanings. Both are worth a listen & explanation tho I promise! Thanks! I really like your reactions, you guys do a good job & are genuine. "You nice, keep going!" 💜 Borahae 💜
Nice reaction! I still love Dope so much. The choreo is just awesome ~ superb footwork. You should check out the dance practice video for a song called Baepsae (Silver Spoon) by BTS. It’s got a funky groove and cool choreo. And also check out the BTS Tiny Desk Concert. It’s a really good way to listen to their vocals as they don’t do the choreo in that particular video. Hope you enjoy! 💜
Thank you for your reaction. Their older MV and music are more eager and more savages. Welcome to the rabbit hole guys. Waiting for other reaction likes the rapline and the vocalline. Borahae💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Keep 'em coming, boys! Happy to help if you need recommendations based on genre. The natural follow up to Dope is Fire (Dope is even playing in the background at the beginning of the Fire MV). I also highly recommend Spring Day for a softer side to BTS, Fake Love (coz it's amazing), and Blood, Sweat and Tears (my personal fave or one of them coz they have sooooo many excellent songs).
Hola,soy de Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 y una feliz mamá ARMY,los estoy siguiendo hace no mucho, pero como les pasó a uds a mi también, quiero mucho a estos niños con unos talentos asombrosos . Quizá en algún momento podré comentar porque y como los conocí. Saludos, bendiciones ❤️💜 borahe 👏👏👏👏👏 No he visto que han reaccionado a Danger, pero estos chicos tienen canciones asombrosas y principalmente,llevan a sus fans (metafóricamente) y siguen siendo humildes chicos.
Love how BTS write almost all their songs and they are one of the few artist who also produced and wrote songs for other singers. Suga also produced the ringtone for samsung two years in the row
BTS los mejores en el mundo cada uno con talentos únicos e increíbles sus cansion es bailes la coordinación que tienen para trabajar en equipo ya han hecho historia ya son leyenda 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌈🌫
In many ways, the lyrics of Dope are typical of the hip-hop genre, spitting on the competition and endlessly praising yourself (“I’m kinda dope!”). But if BTS are hungry for success, they have made sacrifices to get to where they are (“I worked all night, everyday, while you were out clubbing.” “Even if our youths rot away in the studio, thanks to that we’re closer to success.”). More sacrifices and more hardwork than any other Kpop idol group , because they were underdogs, coming from a small compagny, without money and without connexion, so all the industry look down on BTS, and when success come, only with their hardwork, and dedication for they fan, they try to sabotage them (but it's a story for an other day ) But the song also talk about social issue : Big Hit let the boys have control over music, express their opinions, allowed them to talk about issues that many in SK society wouldn't, like mental health, school pressure, disparity in societal classes and so on BTS said since day one they want to talk and fight for their generation. A few years back, the Korean media started labelling the younger generation as a generation who abandoned essential parts of life. The "give up generation" : Because of the tough economic state of the country and a lack of opportunity, the young generation has to work so much harder to get a job and survive. Sampo (3-po) generation, Ohpo (5-po) generation... The "given up on 3" are gave up on Dating, Marriage, Childbirth; The 5 give up generation abandonned also Human relationships, and Housing/work. They also talk about this issue in Bepsae (Silver Spoon) The last grade is 7 : gave up on dream and hope. BTS point the fact that “The media and grown-ups say we have no will, denouncing us, why are they killing us before we even try?” . This makes the great point that the very people who urge teenagers to achieve things in life are the same people holding them back. Then RM said he will give up six things, but he won't give up the seventh : Hope. So BTS tells people to stop giving up on things and never give up on hope. Hope and hardwork, :"keep your head up, take my energy, energy, energy. Don’t give up, you know you’re not lonely. Our dawn is better than our days. So can I get a little bit of hope? Wake your sleeping youth and go!" .
Our precious angels working hard since the beginning on the bottom until the top they’re never stop …thanks for you guys sincerity love it , can’t wait for the next reactions to our 7 kings
Great reaction guys. You know what's really DOPE... After all these years & despite all the successes & accolades they still work as hard as ever. Their continued respect for their craft & their fans is quite amazing to see really. In this aspect they have not changed since their debut in 2013.
I find this video more cute than fierce but the song is pretty fire 😊 speaking of which, if you want more hype anthems go for Fire and Not Today from their older stuff or ON kinetic the MV 👍 but if you're ready for a different flavor try House of Cards, ooof 💜 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oDLXVbP3CQc.html
I love this song so much i cosplayed as Jimin from this MV and did the Dope dance at a local comic con near me and i had fun, people were aslo asking me who I was so I explained to then everything about jimin and BTS. Also i love how Jimin and Jungkook bounced of eachother, with their voices. Jimin in this MV is why i love a man in uniform, i love Jimins voice and i also love his highnotes aswell but his character is the one i love, this is partly the reason Jimin is my ultimate kpop bias. This song is totally Dope (see what i did there lol)
Did you know that in Korean groups there is a division into rap line and vocal line. If you want to rap, then listen to Chyper 1-4, and if you want vocals, then Magic shop, Heartbeat. Also, each of the members of BTS has solo songs. it's just a bomb)
Spring Day is known as the Queen song, it's still on the charts in Korea if I'm not mistaken. If you decide to do it know that people are incredibly attached to it because it's considered that the video makes reference to a tragedy from 2014 where almost 300 high school students died on a sinking ferry. The crew got out first and told the passengers to not move from where they were because it would make the boat move and sink faster. The outrage was so emotional and national that it led to the president being impeached. Italian army's explanation video is AMAZING, she actually went to Korea to do research and met some of the families of the victims. BRING KLEENEX and know that we're all virtually hugging you, we love seeing reactors do the song because it brings awareness 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
When I was getting interested with BTS, I started with Dope, then Fire, it got me hook and want more and so here I am, been an ARMY since 2018. Please do react more. Thanks.
They’re not just talking about themselves. They are talking about how hard their generation works too, in all sorts of different jobs. How they get criticised and looked down on by the older generation but they don’t have the opportunities, security, money or time to be out clubbing ever night. Instead every day is hustle life.
I can't wait to see BTS Butter live performance of Grammys. After awards show they went to back to hotel and starting live streaming with ARMYs. BTS never attended any after award show party as clubbing.
@@AwkwardAngleReacts don't rush to that performance. I think you guys would appreciate that more once you've heard all the different songs from that performance. But if you choose to proceed.... i'll still watch of course. you'll be amazed, but I think would be even more amazed if you're already familiar with all songs used. These are the songs used in that performance: Intro Persona Boy In Luv Boy With Luv Mikrocosmos No More Dreams Danger I Need You Fire Save Me Fake Love Dionysus
@@sjm5750 That’s probably a good idea. That live is heavily requested and hyped to be epic. Don’t want to do it an injustice. It’s going to super hard to keep it out of mind till then probably worth it🤔
@@AwkwardAngleReacts it's voted as their most epic performance. You may even want to consider doing MMA 2015-2018 first to build up to it :) previous performances are great, but it doesn't top 2019, not even the 2020 performance.
Jungkook don't have much solo songs like the other members, but he did a lot of cover songs and they all sound so beautiful. Please check some of them, like "falling" cover song and "Sofa" cover song, all by Jungkook
Love the reaction guys! You should react to BTS & Seo Taiji-come back home live performance. Think you guys would really vibe with it. Again love the reactions.
Some recommendations: Recent 2 released songs + 1 re-released song live durinf their 9th anniversary - PROOF LIVE 2022 Debut Song June 2013 - No More Dream Vocal line songs that would make you see the other side of their discography - House of Cards - The Truth Untold Rapline Supremacy - Cyphers 1-4
Hi, Im new to the channel and I love your reactions, I just saw all your BTS rections in a row and can't wait to watch what's comming. As you may hve notice from some comments, our boys tackle some important social issues, I recommend N.O, Not today, Spine braker, Bapsae and Spring day, for this last song I reccomend an explanation video as you will understand the simbolism better, given that it was made as both, an homage and a protest following a terrible disaster that took place on Corea in which the corrupt goverment had a lot to do. Ps. Im a 37 year old ARMY, mother of two and children psychologist from Mexico💜
just found your channel and I am loving the reactions. I would totally love to follow you down the k pop rabbit hole. there is so much and so many talented artists I think it will be a lot of fun.🙂💜
I have subscribed bcuz i like your reactions very detailed and respectful. All BTS songs have deeeep meanings so if you guys are interested you can check out explanations by DKDKTV esp. for songs that have cultural references. Thank you for reacting to the boys. 👍
Thank you for your reaction! We really appreciate how you react and expressing your thoughts :) I don't know if this is too early, but if you want to know more about their history, could you please react to Rise of Bangtan series? It's fanmade but wonderfully well done and available on YT. Thank you again, may only good things filled our future :)
After watching the "Guide to BTS", I'd totally recommend reacting to: -"The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS (2022 Update!)" By: Rice Squad. Unlike the Guide to BTS, this video focuses on all their albums and may also help to give you some more song suggestions. As for songs, I definetely recommend: -"Spring Day" + "Spring Day explanation" by Italian ARMY and also bulletproof vibes. (This song will show you just how deep and meaningful BTS music videos are. This song ws alos on the Korean charts for a very long time). -"Boy with Luv" Ft. Halsey -"Black Swan" -"Life Goes On" (Directed by one other than Jungkook himself) -"Blood Sweat and Tears" -ON Kinetic Manifesto" (Really showcases their complex dance moves) 💜💜💜
Rice Squad has their success but it ignores the hardship and some of the later intersting numbers. But it is good. I prefer "the Rise of Bangtan" for it's context. Also interesting are channels like bby gang mag and his video essays or "Asian Entertainment and Culture"
Appreciate that you guys pay attention to the messages in the songs. DOPE came from their "youth" trilogy of albums that talked about the joys and struggles of people coming of age. So you'll get songs like: 🟣 *_Dope, Silver Spoon, Fire_* - About boomers destroying the economy and then decrying the youth as lazy 🟣 *_Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1, Young Forever_* - Young people's anxieties about the future, of possibly not amounting to anything 🟣 *_Moving On, Ma City_* - Acknowledging your roots even as you move on to bigger things The Most Beautiful Moment in Life trilogy really was wonderfully honest and introspective, and also produced some of their best bangers. It's crazy. 😂
Maybe an idea of how you might react and know more about them may be that they react to the video and then some live presentation of some concert or rehearsal to compare
I get that new audiences might find it funny or awkward when u hear BTS flexing n praising themselves in their songs but once u come to know "behind the scenes", u'd know thats its not exaggerated. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THEIR WORTH...AND SO THEY TOO.
They indeed have a high work ethics and very involved with their music and pretty much whatever they are trying to do. Even during their earlier days they talked about breaking the social norms, involve in the promotion of adopting child (which is not very popular in Korea), helping the elderly and orphanage, criticised government over the harsh expectation of young adults with ridiculous longs hours and academic focus. They have grown to be a well rounded individuals on top of creating amazing music.
If you like rock sounds, I recommend Dreamcatcher to you in Kpop. It's not easy for you to hear rock sounds in K-pop. If you want, listen to Dreamcatcher's PIRI.
I really wonder were that idea comes from because: no, he doesn't. Namjoon talks about n-po generation: It first began as Sampo generation, and was then expanded to the 'Generation who gave up on n number of things'. Sampo Generation refers to a generation that has given up three things: dating, marriage, and having children, while Opo Generation has given up five things, adding owning a home and having a career to the list of things given up on by the Sampo generation. The Chilpo generation refers to the generation who gave up seven things, adding hope/hobby and human relations to Opo generation. (wikipedia n-po generation) giving up on: 3 = dating, marriage & having children 5 = + home ownership & career 7 = + hope/hobby & human relations 6 is from the pronounciation beef jerky (it means probably that they did not give up on hope, yet)
